Grace Gospel ministers are sent not to baptize but to preach the gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:14-21.

Water baptism is not a work meet for repentance under Grace: Acts 26:17-10, 1 Corinthians 1:14-17.

Water baptism has nothing to do with the Lord's coming for the Church which is His Body, only the preaching and believing of the Gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:14-17, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, Romans 15:15-16, Titus 2:11-13, Galatians 1:4.

Water baptism has no connection to Christ under the Grace Gospel: 1 Corinthians 1:17
